A review by mermaidmomma
Spellbound by Jean Copeland, Jackie D
4.0
This book opens by introducing us to a fierce female protagonist, one of many, named Raven Dare with a family history that has determined her destiny. From that point we are thrown back in time to the Salem Witch Trials where we meet Sarah and then the cast of characters is completed when we meet Hazel in modern day Salem, Massachusetts. This book is full of girl power moments, self discovery, and of course some magic.
This book was unlike anything that I have read recently. I have been branching out into books that have LGBTQIA+ representation and this book did not disappoint in that aspect. Beyond that, the themes and contextual events in this book were very poignant in relation to the current political climate in the United States. The fashion in which existing prejudices related to race, socioeconomic status, and gender were manipulated to cause discord were staggering, but also a reflection of the current state of things here in the USA. I really enjoyed this aspect of the book and I am so glad that I read it when I did.
